Author:Kristen Update:Mar 27,2025

If you're diving into the thrilling world of the cooperative horror game *R.E.P.O.*, you'll want to master the art of saving your progress to keep your team's hard work intact. In *R.E.P.O.*, a physics-based retrieval game for up to six players, you'll explore various maps, hunt for valuables, and aim to extract them safely. But to avoid losing your progress, here's a detailed guide on how to save your game in *R.E.P.O.*.

How To Save Your Game in R.E.P.O.

One of the most frustrating experiences for any gamer is loading up a game, expecting to continue from your last save, only to find all your progress lost. This is particularly common with newer games, where autosave features might be absent or have specific conditions. In *R.E.P.O.*, understanding how to save your game is crucial to avoid starting from scratch.

The key to saving in *R.E.P.O.* is completing the level you're on. The game does not offer a manual save option, so if you exit during a retrieval mission or die, leading you to the Disposal Arena, your progress is lost. You'll need to start that level over. Similarly, if you die, your save file is deleted, forcing you to begin anew at the level's start if you quit mid-location.

To save your game successfully, you must finish the level by delivering your valuables to the Extraction Point, then enter (or navigate back to) the truck. Hold the message button above your head to signal the AI boss, the Taxman, that you're ready to proceed to the Service Station. At the Service Station, you can shop for necessary items. Once you're ready, use the same button to advance to the next level.

After leaving the Service Station, you'll reach your next location, and it's safe to exit to the main menu or quit the game at this point. The next time you or the host (if someone else created the original save file) launches the game, you can continue from where you left off. It's essential for the host to exit correctly to ensure the game saves properly, as this action will log out all players.

Now that you're equipped with the knowledge to save your game in *R.E.P.O.*, explore our other guides to enhance your gameplay and ensure your team's success on your next mission.
